Not sure I'd have Flair if WWE only. If opening up to non-WWE the whole list gets much harder.
Other 9 names are solid. Might go Lesnar or Punk in Flair's spot
Edit: just remembered Rey. I'd pick Rey.

How come Russell is that much ahead of Wilt while both played in the same era??
Out of all the players who have played basketball since it was created, he's not really very far ahead at all.

Why do you guys rate both of botvinnik,tal ahead of lasker?i mean,lasker was world number 1 for 25 years not only by being wcc champion, but also by chessmetric standards.lasker was also one of the greatest ever tournament player(greatest,if you believe alekhine)Botvinnik had a terrible record in wcc,he was also helped by Soviet administration.Tal was world champion for just 1 year.(If you say he was unorthodox,so was lasker).(Sorry nothing personal and apologies if i have committed any grammatical mistake)

Botvinnik is the literally the father of the Soviet school of chess. His impact on the game and the champions that followed out of Russia add to his legacy in addition to his own capabilities as a player.
Tal wasn't just unorthodox, Tal's prime and the way he outplayed the greats of his generation, made me put him over Lasker. Just going by objective strength, Lasker might go above both

Pretty much this. Botvinnik was a pioneer and held the title for 15 years at a time with a plethora of great players around (yes briefly lost twice but reclaimed shortly). And well, Tal is pretty much my favourite player. He may have been the WC for only a year but his prime is comparable to the Big 3. Lasker does tends to go a little under the radar, mostly for his Era being an easier one. Don't think there is anything wrong in ranking this 3 in anyways.

Because Russell's game won championships and Wilt's won personal accolades.

Ikki fuming somewhere aws.
Find it hard where to exactly rank him amongst the elites of the game hence I generally abstain from including him in such lists

Why?? Di Stefano played in an era competitive enough and not too dissimilar to Pele.
I don't necessarily disagree but it feels a bit like the cricket equivalent of Ranji - Trumper as far as eras are concerned. And I'm just not able to have a consistent opinion on him with his prime coming in 'pre-Pele' era of football.

Imo Andrade, Meazza and Sindelar is more akin to Ranji-Trumper. Di Stefano is more like Hobbs (and was more of a contemporary of Hutton). The most complete footballer ever imho.
